Don't know, as I don't have one of those antennas, but if you need
stainless steel star washers just call Berg Hardware in Pasadena Cal
There are several on E-Bay right now, including a new Ritron being sold by
our very own Ted, W9MDM.

Don,
The second address you sent to should work OK. I don't have any trouble with it

Does anyone have for sale or know where I can get a good used UHF
repeater? I am new to the repeater area. I am just doing this as a
side project for fun and to learn more about how repeater systems work.
Thanks,

search on "tooth lock washers"; choose your material, then your
style, then your size, give them your address & CC number, they pack
the order within 20 minutes (no joke).

in Florida Tampa bay area they are in the pull out draws and the boat parts

Whatever you do, replace them with stainless screws, washers and lock

Not so sure that I'd use 420-450mhz new these days due to PAVE PAWS.

Hi All, has anyone done this? That is, used a Yaesu FT-817 5w rig as a
remote base radio on your repeater? Any reason why/why not? Just
curious, thanks.

I would certainly have to agree also,

Yes. Digitize the voice signal and shoot it over the air uncompressed. A

There's definitely a power rating, and at 50 ohms you
can figure out the RMS voltage, then the peak-to-peak
voltage, but that won't be the breakdown voltage that
the insulation is capable of. Those specs are
available on the Andrew web page under Heliax.
The only thing that I can think of that mig
Anyone in the group have an extra 220-MHz duplexer lying around? I am
looking to buy a duplexer, WP-652 or similar, for a repeater project
that's work-in-progress. Please contact me direct at my callsign-at-
arrl.net address if you have something.
Thanks & 73,

Whoops! My last message should have read "Moisture intrusion may only conduct if
the dialectric is saturated at some point but light condensation may not conduct
at all especially
at lower voltages."

I use the method often. Your results will vary depending upon several
factors including the voltage level at which you perform the insulation
test, type of dialectric, and what kind (and how many) arrestors may be
inline. Generally speaking you should be able to perform a good high
resistance test
and sometimes more sites.

I have access to a spare run of about 150' 1-1/2" heliax at a repeater
site. It goes from the "Radio Room" to the roof. There is no antenna
connected to it. I would like to verify if it still any good.
Obviously, hooking it up to a TDR would be a preferred method of

The new narrowbanding initiative simply changes the emission designator from

This will all change dramatically as systems migrate to the M/A-Com OpenSky
system in New York State. The only way you'll be able to listen is if an agency
gateways traffic to a conventional channel. This same thing is already
happening in Pennsylvania. But this is somewhat off-topic, I suppose.
We are going through the same growing pains here in Rural Western New York.
The problems with the NON-TRUNKING SCANNERS, is they will not go out to 12.5
KHz or even lower of a split. Here is an example; one of our frequencies,
155.0475. Now if you try to put that in your BC-895XLT it will round off

Maybe I should have clarified. All they would have to do is turn up the

900 Mhz is optimum for linking here is the KC area. Only a few rptrs

Either the rptr OR the end user radio was not set up the same. On this
